Vortex Unveils Epik N°1 and N°2: Redefining Iconic Splashpad® Moments
Vortex Aquatic Structures International (Vortex), a global manufacturer and industry leader in aquatic solutions, is announcing today the launch of Epik N°1 and N°2, two large-scale interactive aquatic play features designed to elevate the visual impact, play intensity, and social energy of Splashpad® environments and aquatic spaces through bold sculptural design, immersive interactions, and high-energy water effects.
Epik N°1 and N°2 are the latest additions to the VECTORY™ collection, introduced in 2025 to ignite movement, creativity, and engagement through dynamic play. Designed as a signature centerpiece for aquatic spaces, Epik distinguishes itself by combining large-scale presence, high-capacity play, and synchronized water action that encourages movement and shared experiences. With the arrival of Epik, the VECTORY™ collection now features 12 innovative products, reinforcing Vortex’s commitment to innovation, experiential design, and the creation of iconic aquatic destinations that bring communities together through play.
A Bold New Way to Play
As public spaces evolve, so do expectations for play environments. Communities are seeking features that are not only engaging, but also visually striking and socially magnetic. Epik N°1 and N°2 were designed to answer that call, offering powerful water effects, sculptural forms, and immersive interactions that instantly transform aquatic spaces into recognizable landmarks.
With Epik, we wanted to design features that stand out from afar and fully engage users up close,” says Richard Martin, Vice President, Product Development at Vortex. “Epik N°1 and N°2 are designed as iconic centerpieces that encourage movement, shared experiences, and lasting memories.
Designed for High-Energy, Continuous Play
Both Epik N°1 and Epik N°2 feature a dual bucket configuration engineered to amplify play intensity and keep users in constant motion. By alternating water dumps, the system creates unpredictable splash sequences that build anticipation, encourage movement, and promote shared excitement among users.
This dual bucket system is powered by SplashSync™, a new Vortex patent-pending technology that synchronizes water action to deliver nonstop, high-energy play while maintaining efficient water use. The result is a dynamic experience that keeps users engaged and active throughout the play cycle.
Meet the New Products
Both Epik N°1 and N°2 are designed for high-capacity play, making them ideal centerpieces for Splashpad® projects of all sizes, aquatic centers, and destination parks.
Now Available Worldwide
Epik N°1 and Epik N°2 are now available through Vortex’s global network of partners.
